Flashing NodeMCU Firmware on the ESP8266 using Windows
Why flashing your ESP8266 module with NodeMCU?
NodeMCU is a firmware that allows you to program the ESP8266 modules with LUA script. And
you’ll find it very
similar to the way you program your Arduino. With just a few lines of code you can establish a WiFi connection,
control the ESP8266 GPIOs, turning your ESP8266 into a web server and a lot more.
In this tutorial we are going to use another ESP8266 module with pin header adapter board which is breadboard
friendly.
